DENVER, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewsCentre/ — SUE, the most complete, best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered is coming to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on Feb. 12.
The traveling exhibition SUE: The T. rex Experience features the latest scientific discoveries about this incredible fossil. The exhibition tickles guests’ senses as they explore SUE’s world, touch casts of real dinosaur fossils, hear the throaty rumble of a T. rex growl, and come face to face with SUE.
Don’t miss the multimedia show on SUE’s cast to learn even more about the life of this fearsome fossil in SUE: The T. rex Experience, opening at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on Feb. 12.
"Our community has expressed an unwavering interest in dinosaurs, and we can’t wait to introduce SUE to Colorado through this exciting exhibition," Denver Museum of Nature & Science President & CEO George Sparks says. "We hope this glimpse into SUE’s world inspires budding paleontologists and reignites a flame of curiosity in everyone else."
SUE’s fossils are on permanent display at the Field Museum in Chicago, so the traveling exhibition gives you a chance to experience SUE through:
"Most of the Denver metro area is situated on top of rocks deposited during SUE’s time, so not only are we excited for SUE to visit Colorado, but we also have some incredible recent discoveries closer to home that guests will get to explore as part of the exhibition," Museum Curator of Dinosaurs Joe Sertich adds.
A timed ticket for Museum entry and a separate timed ticket for entry into SUE: The T. rex Experience is required.
SUE: The T. rex Experience was organized by the Field Museum and is part of the Griffin Dinosaur Experience, made possible by the generous support of the Kenneth C. Griffin Charitable Fund.
